We’re proud to share that Binq has been featured in TechRound’s list of the Top AI Startups in the United Kingdom. The list highlights emerging and established companies using artificial intelligence in real and powerful ways. Binq sits alongside a wide range of innovators working across sectors from robotics to healthcare and infrastructure.
The headline
In the article, TechRound points out what we’ve been building and the impact it’s having. Since launching in August 2025, Binq has already supported more than 15,000 UK small businesses and facilitated over £500m in funding enquiries. The platform reached profitability within just three months of launch, showing that our approach is delivering results for business owners.
Why Binq?
What stood out to TechRound was the way Binq uses open banking and AI to help small businesses get practical support faster. Our Smart Search technology looks at open banking data and matches businesses with the right funding, insurance, energy and banking options. Binq’s AI assistant also keeps an eye on business performance day to day, flagging potential cashflow issues or upcoming legislative changes so owners can act early. And while most enquiries are handled by AI, human experts are available when needed.
The piece also highlights the real gaps in SME support that we’re helping fill. Many small business owners don’t have the time or capacity to shop around for better finance deals and can wait months for traditional bank decisions. Binq connects them with specialist lenders who can approve funding quickly, usually within 24 hours, with funds available the same day.
Looking forward
Being named in a national roundup of AI startups feels like recognition that our work is making a difference. We built Binq to make managing business finances a little easier and more predictable for time-poor founders, and seeing that acknowledged alongside so many other innovative companies is something we’re proud of. We're really excited to help match more SMEs with the right funding for them and to help busy business owners make strong financial decisions.
